We didnt go inside but it is a beautiful place to see. Would definitely recommend as a sight to see if you are in Mobile. Beautiful landscaping and has been maintained well.

Gorgeous building and contents. Ring the bell and be met at the door by a DAR member who will give a guided tour. Very interesting house and garden too. Well worth the short walk out of town into historic residential street. Only 4 stars given as some research needs to be done on the contents as incorrect info given in some instances.

Fabulous walk through of an old house filled with artifacts. They dont list tours on their website but you arent really allowed to wander the house (understandably) but you can touch just about anything in the house. At the end of your tour you are given tea and cookies in an adorable gift shop. Bring cash for the tour.

Beautiful piece of the past ! The tour and delicious tea and cookies were Wonderful! I am so glad this piece of History still exists! They say they can accommodate weddings at a Extremely reasonable price! I wish I was a young Bride descending that Wonderful Staircase!

My sister and I came from Atlanta last Sunday to visit this lovely home. There are not enough words to describe what a perfect experience we had . We came on the day of a book signing in the front rooms, so we were lucky and got to learn all about the authors book on Mardi Gras and they had a LOVELY dining room set up with drinks and food . This was honestly the best tour we have ever been on in a historic home . All the ladies were so warm and welcoming . The tour wasn’t rushed and these wonderful and kind ladies were so knowledgeable about the history of the home to every piece of furniture . We learned so many cool facts about period pieces we’ve never learned on other home tours! Not to mention, they let you take as many pictures as you want, touch things, and sit in ALL the furniture . We have never been in a home that gave us that privilege before! The home is stunning and one of the most beautiful I’ve seen . It is truly a must see . Please support these ladies and this home ! You don’t want to miss this one. We will totally be back ! Thank you so much again ! We truly appreciated you all making our day! Wish there was an option for more than 5 stars!!

Larger than it looks! Really noteworthy Italianate home in town. Stunning ironwork, curved staircase, stained glass, antique furniture, dishes, art, and textiles. Reproduction beds throughout were amazing as well. DAR ladies were charming and sweet and serve you tea and cookies at the end. Just a lovely experience. Highly recommend.

These ladies were more than friendly and sweet. We came on a Tuesday when they were closed and they still took us on a tour. We are so grateful. The house has so much history!

I recently detoured through Mobile on our way around some weather from Florida back home to Minnesota. We were unsure about our plan for the day until we arrived in Mobile and conducted a search of the area. After being on the beach and by the pool all week we decided we needed some culture and history and settled on the DAR house tour to start our day. It was the Saturday before Easter and relatively quiet around town. The weather was also....perfect!

I won’t give it 1 star, but as others pointed out, it’s closed when it’s supposed to be open. No sign on door. No message on machine. As I was sitting on the front steps, they missed out on 6 others guests wanting to see the house as well. One was a member of the DAR in New York. Disappointing.
